Corporate philosophy and quality policy
The development of Westfälische Drahtindustrie GmbH is an expression of a corporate policy that is directly related to the endeavour to achieve product quality and complete fulfilment of customer requirements.
The company management has an obligation to maintain and strengthen this reputation and defines its quality policy with the quality management system.
Sustainability – an integral part of WDI's corporate policy
The careful use of resources has a long tradition at WDI, long before the term "sustainability" became part of common vocabulary.
WDI's corporate policy sees the responsible use of resources not only as an economic matter of course, but also takes into account the impact the company and its actions have on the environment, employees, suppliers and society.
Energy policy principles
Westfälische Drahtindustrie GmbH (WDI) has set itself the goal of using energy frugally and sustainably.
WDI therefore endeavours to continuously improve energy efficiency within the company in order to conserve natural resources and increase its own competitiveness.
In order to achieve these goals, an energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001 is being introduced and continuously developed throughout the company.
